Gordon C. Light

Janet and family
I just heard of Gordon's passing and I wanted to express to you our deepest sympathy. I worked with Gordon a long time ago in Schenectady and he was always fun to work with and for .

I am thankful for the help he gave me in securing a Park and Rec job in Mt. Pleasant all those years ago. RIP.
